Dental crowns are one of the most effective ways to restore strength, function, and appearance to damaged teeth. At High Street Dental in Hingham, MA, we use high-quality, natural-looking materials to rebuild teeth that are cracked, weakened, severely decayed, or cosmetically compromised. A dental crown fits securely over your existing tooth, protecting it while restoring its shape and appearance.
Crowns are often recommended when a tooth has a large filling and insufficient natural structure remaining. They are also commonly used after root canal treatment to strengthen and protect the tooth from further damage. By fully covering the visible portion of the tooth, a crown prevents fractures and helps maintain long-term oral health.
We offer crowns made from durable and aesthetic materials such as porcelain and ceramic. These materials are designed to closely match the color and translucency of natural teeth, making them an excellent option for restoring both front and back teeth. Our goal is to ensure your crown blends seamlessly into your smile.
The dental crown process typically involves two visits. During your first appointment, we prepare the tooth and take precise digital impressions to ensure a comfortable, accurate fit. A temporary crown may be placed while your custom restoration is being fabricated. At your second visit, we bond the permanent crown securely in place.
Modern crowns are designed for durability and comfort. With proper oral hygiene and routine dental checkups, a crown can last many years. Brushing, flossing, and regular professional cleanings will help protect both the crown and the surrounding gum tissue.
Patients appreciate that crowns not only restore function but also improve confidence. If you have a chipped, discolored, or misshapen tooth, a crown can dramatically enhance your smile while strengthening the underlying structure.
